Solutions for Maine
Maine Digital Accessibility + ADA Title II Compliance
Maine's Digital Accessibility and Usability Policy already requires WCAG 2.1 AA for all public-facing content, and the Attorney General can enforce it with $5,000 per-violation penalties under the Maine Civil Rights Act. Now the federal ADA Title II rule adds another deadline. CASO Comply remediates your PDFs and documents at scale so you meet both requirements without the manual work.
What Maine Already Requires
Maine has one of the more complete state-level accessibility frameworks — policy, CIO authority, vendor requirements, and enforcement with real penalties. CASO Comply handles the document piece.
Maine Digital Accessibility and Usability Policy
Requires all state agency public-facing digital content and most internal content to comply with Section 508 Standards and WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA Success Criteria, including electronic documents and PDFs.
Title 5, Chapter 163 §1973 — CIO Authority
Authorizes the Chief Information Officer to set policies and standards for information technology, including ADA accessibility standards, across all state agencies.
Maine Civil Rights Act Enforcement
The Attorney General can seek civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation under the Maine Civil Rights Act for accessibility failures, giving the state real enforcement teeth.
Vendor Accessibility Requirements
Any vendor providing products or services to the state must comply with revised Section 508 Standards and conform to WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA — accessibility is baked into procurement.
The Federal Clock Maine Is Following
The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule says “web content” includes documents posted on the site — which is why public-facing PDFs that are still in use are in scope.

Why Maine Entities Choose CASO Comply
Avoid $5,000-Per-Violation Penalties
Maine is one of the few states where the Attorney General can enforce digital accessibility under the Maine Civil Rights Act with civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation. That adds up fast when you have hundreds of inaccessible PDFs on your website. CASO Comply remediates them before they become liabilities.
Satisfy Both State and Federal Requirements
Maine's Digital Accessibility Policy already requires WCAG 2.1 AA, and the federal ADA Title II rule layers on the same standard with a hard deadline. CASO Comply brings your documents into compliance with both in a single pass — no need to manage two separate remediation efforts.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Maine's OIT Accessibility Team sets the policy, but most agencies don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply applies the right structure, tags, and fixes automatically so your IT or communications team can meet the deadlines without specialized training.
